Biggs: Bears Q&A

The pure fact of the matter is that teams are beginning to find as good or better QB prospects outside of those top ten or top twenty picks and taking less risk doing it.  Russell Wilson, Jimmy Garoppolo, Tyrod Taylor, Dak Prescott, Trevor Siemian, and Brock Osweiler are all starters who weren't 1st round picks.  Some are doing well and some not so well but they're in the same barrel with some top picks who are doing about the same.

The team still has to give that QB a good supporting cast on offense and a great defense or he won't win because few of them have enough experience in a pro style offense to run much more than a pared down version of one for the first year or two.  Once teams get enough film of those guys and their limitations all of a sudden they don't win so easily or as often.

After starting out like a seasoned vet in Philly with 3 wins Wentz has lost 4 of his last 5 games and Philly is now 4-4 but a month ago it was we need to draft 1 or 2 so we can get a guy like him.  Of course monsters is still on that kick but that's one out of 50.  So far the best rookie QB is Prescott and we passed on him in round 4 and the #1 overall pick hasn't even seen the field yet even though LA is starting the #32 ranked QB in the NFL over him.

So this idea that drafting a shiny new passer without building the rest is a myth.  It just doesn't happen that way all that easily.  The next Manning, Brady, or Rodgers is not as close as the #1 overall pick in the draft and even if you had him that still wouldn't be all you'd need.
